Chapter 20. Uploading a Patch
Abstract
Uploading a patch file stores the updated artifacts in the fabric's central repository so that they can be used by the containers.
Overview
A patch file is a ZIP fie containing a
.patch manifest file and one or more bundles in a repository folder. You will either be given this patch file or you will download it from Red Hat.
Before you can use the patch file to update the containers in a fabric, you need to make the updated bundles available to the containers. The management console does this by uploading them into a Fabric Ensemble's Maven repository. All of the bundles in the ensemble's Maven repository are available for use by all of the containers in the fabric.
Procedure
To upload a patch:
- Save the patch file to a location that is accessible from your local machine.
- Select the management console's Patching tab.
- Click the button.
- Using the file picker, select the patch file.
- Click .The patch file's name should appear beside the button.
- Click the button.The patch file will appear in the Uploaded Patches list.
You can repeat this procedure to upload numerous patch files to apply as a single update.
